I sat on a wasp

not a super eventful week cause I got a new companion haha she is cool, we get along fine but she is no sister Vi.

yesterday was the best day of my life. It makes me so freaking happy when our people come to church, that's how I imagine God feeling when we CTR. Anyways after we got home we were walking to our apartment and we saw this guy that we had seen before and so we said hey and he was like "are y'all church girls?" and we were like heck yeah we are missionaries...then we started to ask him about the cross on his neck and he was like come sit down under my porch...so he pulls out some chairs and we basically teach him the restoration and the plan of salvation. After we gave him a book of mormon he was like "i'm not just going to go inside and set this on the book shelf, I'm actually going to read it. SO then he opened it up and was like okay let's read it together. We read 3 Nephi 11 and I was legit crying because the spirit was so strong. Before we left he was like "ya know i've seen you guys before and you just look so happy and peaceful, and I want that" we told him that we have so much more to tell him and that there are so many blessings in store for him and his son. Aaron is the coolest

ANOTHER MIRACLE: after we talked with Aaron we stopped by a referral named Giovanni. We started with the plan of salvation and he picked it up so well and had so many questions. He was so engaged and was nodding his head the entire time. We also taught the restoration because his girlfriend/wife is christan so we wanted to emphasize that. After we got done with the lesson we were like what do you think about what we've said today and he was like I want to know more..we ended up giving him a soft baptismal invite and he accepted!! These may not seem like big miracles but this is HUGE especially for this area because it's so wealthy. EVERYONE PRAY FOR AARON AND GIOVANNI!!!
side notes: I did sit on a wasp and I saw some fireflies this week. I was freaking out cause i've never seen them before anyways love y'all life is good and i'm so happy :)

Elder $oares à Tahiti

Image
YOOO my time is running out as a missionary. I'm gonna miss it. Especially when we have weeks like this one. God decided I needed to go out with a bang for my last transfer. Elder Soares came to Tahiti and spoke for my very last zone conference. It was exactly what I needed. I'll drop some good quotes. - Missionary work is not a sacrifice, it's a privilege. - If we want to know God, we have to serve him -There's a difference between helping someone be baptized and helping them become a disciple of Christ. -Discipleship comes from hard work -You can leave the mission field but don't let the mission field leave your heart -Live a life that attracts people to the gospel -Have the courage to be different - weekly accountability letter to the savior after the mish (you missionaries will understand) Man the list goes on but those were some of my favorites. We are currently teaching the cutest family and walked around the temple with them after our lesson and they told us ...

You and me go fishin in the dark 🐟🌛

Image
Yes I did indeed go fishing in the dark but it ain't the same vibe as the song :// Also jokes on all you of who drop hundos on fishing gear, all you need here is an empty water bottle, string and bait. Man I think I'm obsessed with fishing now. This week was exhausting. Our days start with lessons at 8am and goes until 8pm. It's non stop all day long. It is work! Sometimes all I want to do is take a nap in a cold dark room but it's all worth it when the amis change because of Jesus Christ, and you can see the fruits from your labors. We've been working with another family and just yesterday they decided to get married and baptised April 30th. I told them I was getting transferred at the beginning of May and what do you know it! I guess they want me to be here for it  I know you are all so sick of me talking about the Book of Mormon but legit everytime I read it, I think to myself "this is amazing how have I never read this before" A quote that I found this...

Provo, draper, and alpine

Image putting 3 sisters from provo, draper and alpine together. Don't worry we've already laughed about it hahaha but yes a sister get ETed into our companionship. I love trios so no complaints! This week we got to drive around all of Tahiti for some filmings. One mans example really touched me. Some background: He doesn't have a lot of things in life, no phone no car, no bike. His house was made out of cement with sometimes no roof covering it. His conversion story is amazing, but after we were done filming we saw that he had a big table of fruits. (Usually pretty common for people here to sell fruit for a living) Next thing we know he's putting together a whole bag for us. I run out to the car to get some money and when i tried to give it to him, he very sternly refused. He said " i know that charity is the pure love of christ" I felt so bad for taking this big bag of fruit. It's literally his income. Over my mission I've noticed that the people who ...
